I chatted with Ben about this, and we propose that we use 0.0.1 for the version number for our first apache release, and we adopt versioning rules like these http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html (i.e. the version scheme is major.minor.patch).
Does anybody have thoughts or objections? I've added a new "version" in JIRA called "0.0.1" that (pending this discussion) we can start using to keep track of which Issues are intended to go into the first release (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS/fixforversion/12319875 which is currently pretty boring because I've only assigned one issue to it, as a test) Note: we used version numbers before entering the incubator to identify our github tagged alpha "releases", the most recent one being alpha 0.4 (see https://github.com/mesos/mesos/tags) Andy
